Rita Nowak Homo Kallipygos 03.10.19
Rita Nowak Homo Kallipygos 03.10.19 - 26.10.19 Mittwoch-Samstag, 12.00-18.00 Matthew Bown Gallery Pohlstrasse 48 10785 Berlin Rita Nowak's exhibition Homo Kallipygos is a series of photographs, of artists and not- artists, shot in Vienna, London and elsewhere. Fraternity, sorority; physical intimacy made compatible with the formality of spectacle; and the allure of the nude body are explored via the motif of the buttocks: the preferred, gender-neutral, erogenous zone of our age. The title of the show derives from the Aphrodite Kallipygos (aka Callipygian Venus), literally, Venus of the Beautiful Buttocks, a Roman copy in marble of an original Greek bronze [1]. Aphrodite's pose is an example of anasyrma: the act of lifting one's skirt to expose the nether parts for the pleasure of spectators [2]. Nowak's student diploma work, Ultravox (2004), referred to Henry Wallis's Death of Chatterton (1856), since when Nowak has regularly evoked the heritage of figurative painting. Centrefold cites an earlier pin-up, Boucher's Blonde Odalisque (1751-2), the image of a fourteen-year-old model, Marie-Louise O'Murphy [3]. Tobias Urban, a member of the Vienna-based artists' group Gelitin, sprawls not on a velvet divan in the boudoir but on that icon of contemporary consumerism, an abandoned faux-leather sofa, installed in a sea of mud. The title suggests that Urban, like O'Murphy, is intended as an object of our erotic fantasy; the pose is subtly altered from Boucher's original, the point- of-view is shifted a few degrees: we see a little less of the face, more of the buttocks and genitals [4]. -

Human Ethology Bulletin – Proc. of the V. ISHE Summer Institute (2016): 30-46 Theoretical Review UNIVERSALS IN RITUALIZED GENITAL DISPLAY OF APOTROPAIC FEMALE FIGURES Christa Sütterlin Human Ethology Group, Max-Planck Institute for Ornithology, Seewiesen, Germany. [email protected] ABSTRACT Human genital display as part of the sculptural repertoire was presented and discussed within a wider ethological framework in the sixties of the last century. Male phallic display is widely referred to as a rank demonstration and ritualized threat rooted in male sexual behavior, and it is discussed as a symbolic dominance display and defense in the artistic context as well. Female sexual display in sculptures, however, is prevalently interpreted in terms of erotic and fertility aspects in art literature. Ethologically it is described as a gesture with at least ambivalent meaning. A recent analysis of its artistic presentation in the nineties of the last century has given rise to a new discussion of its function and meaning, on the behavioral as well as on the sculptural level. Cross- cultural consistency, functional context and expressive cues thereby play a primary role in this regard. In addition, a new consideration of behavioral relicts contributes to reinterpreting the gesture, both ethologically and artistically. The concept of ritualization may be of particular help for a better understanding of its archaic behavioral background and its special relevance for the arts. The sculptural motive is in the meantime partially accepted as an “apotropaic” (aversive) motive even in archaeological circles, but any derivation from behavioral origins is still far away from being integrated. Keywords: Female genital display, ethology, ritualization, art, and cultural comparison. -

Sacred Display: New Findings
SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS Number 240 September, 2013 Sacred Display: New Findings by Miriam Robbins Dexter and Victor H. Mair Victor H. Mair, Editor Sino-Platonic Papers Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6305 USA [email protected] www.sino-platonic.org SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS FOUNDED 1986 Editor-in-Chief VICTOR H. MAIR Associate Editors PAULA ROBERTS MARK SWOFFORD ISSN 2157-9679 (print) 2157-9687 (online) SINO-PLATONIC PAPERS is an occasional series dedicated to making available to specialists and the interested public the results of research that, because of its unconventional or controversial nature, might otherwise go unpublished. The editor-in-chief actively encourages younger, not yet well established, scholars and independent authors to submit manuscripts for consideration. Contributions in any of the major scholarly languages of the world, including romanized modern standard Mandarin (MSM) and Japanese, are acceptable. In special circumstances, papers written in one of the Sinitic topolects (fangyan) may be considered for publication. Although the chief focus of Sino-Platonic Papers is on the intercultural relations of China with other peoples, challenging and creative studies on a wide variety of philological subjects will be entertained. This series is not the place for safe, sober, and stodgy presentations. Sino- Platonic Papers prefers lively work that, while taking reasonable risks to advance the field, capitalizes on brilliant new insights into the development of civilization. Submissions are regularly sent out to be refereed, and extensive editorial suggestions for revision may be offered. Sino-Platonic Papers emphasizes substance over form. We do, however, strongly recommend that prospective authors consult our style guidelines at www.sino-platonic.org/stylesheet.doc. -

Unveiling Baubo: the Making of an Ancient Myth for the Degree Field Of
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Unveiling Baubo: The Making of an Ancient Myth A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Field of Comparative Literary Studies By Frederika Tevebring EVANSTON, ILLINOIS December 2017 2 © Copyright by Frederika Tevebring 2017 All Rights Reserved 3 Abstract “Unveiling Baubo” describes how the mythical figure Baubo was constructed in nineteenth-century German. Associated with the act of exposing herself to the goddess Demeter, Baubo came to epitomize questions about concealment and unveiling in the budding fields of archaeology, philology, psychoanalysis and literary theory. As I show in my dissertation, Baubo did not exist as a coherent mythical figure in antiquity. Rather, the nineteenth-century notion of Baubo was mediated through a disparate array of ancient and contemporary sources centered on the notion of sexual vulgarity. Baubo emerged as a modern amalgam of ancient parts, a myth of a myth invested with the question of what modernity can and should know about ancient Greece. The dissertation centers on the 1989 excavation of the so-called Baubo statuettes, a group of Hellenistic votive figurines discovered at Priene, in modern-day Turkey. The group adheres to a consistent and unique iconography: the face of the female figures is placed directly onto their torso, giving the impression that the vulva and chin merge. Based on the statuettes’ “grotesque- obscene” appearance, archaeologist concluded that they depicted Baubo, the woman who greeted Demeter at Eleusis when the goddess was searching for her abducted daughter Persephone. According to late antique Church Fathers, Demeter refused the locals’ offerings of food and drink until Baubo cheered her up by lifting her skirt, exposing herself to the goddess. -
Mythological Women
KS Brewer #1 - Myths Introduction I’m KS Brewer, and this is the 1st part of a 3 part series about the construction of female ‘monsters’ as seen through different lenses. In the context of these videos, when I say monster, what I mean is a framework that rationalizes a person or people as ‘bad’ - as evil, depraved, inhuman, animalistic, etc. All of these people that we are going to discuss are just PEOPLE - when I say monster, what I am referring to is the construction of those people’s identity by a dominant culture that often characterizes them as monsters. We fear monsters because they show us the things that we don’t want to see. The word monster comes in part from the latin verb monstrare - to show, and also from monere - to remind, admonish, warn, and instruct. In this sense, to be a monster is to reveal and protest something. The fact that monsters are also characterized as ‘abnormal’ and ‘abominations’ might suggest something to us about what the “monster” is revealing, and who they are protesting. The examples we’ll focus on in each of these videos are meant to be cross-cultural, but do look especially at Western constructions, because I want to point out the mechanisms of Western/ white culture, how they’ve been operating in the construction of female identity, how they continue to shape us, and how they beneit Western/ white (straight male) interests. In this irst part we’re going to look at this subject matter through a mythological lens, and use this as a baseline for understanding a lot of the themes and tendencies that are going to pop up in the other two parts. -
Hydrophobic Trichome Layers and Epicuticular Wax Powders in Bromeliaceae1
American Journal of Botany 88(8): 1371±1389. 2001. HYDROPHOBIC TRICHOME LAYERS AND EPICUTICULAR WAX POWDERS IN BROMELIACEAE1 SIMON PIERCE,2,3 KATE MAXWELL,2 HOWARD GRIFFITHS,2 AND KLAUS WINTER Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Apartado 2072, Balboa, Panama City, Republic of Panama The distinctive foliar trichome of Bromeliaceae has promoted the evolution of an epiphytic habit in certain taxa by allowing the shoot to assume a signi®cant role in the uptake of water and mineral nutrients. Despite the profound ecophysiological and taxonomic importance of this epidermal structure, the functions of nonabsorbent trichomes in remaining Bromeliaceae are not fully understood. The hypothesis that light re¯ection from these trichome layers provides photoprotection was not supported by spectroradiometry and ¯uorimetry in the present study; the mean re¯ectance of visible light from trichome layers did not exceed 6.4% on the adaxial surfaces of species representing a range of ecophysiological types nor was signi®cant photoprotection provided by their presence. Several reports suggesting water repellency in some terrestrial Bromeliaceae were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a new techniqueЯuorographic dimensional imaging (FDI)Ðwere used to assess the interaction between aqueous droplets and the leaf surfaces of 86 species from 25 genera. In the majority of cases a dense layer of overlapping, stellate or peltate trichomes held water off the leaf epidermis proper. In the case of hydrophobic tank-forming tillandsioideae, a powdery epicuticular wax layer provided water repellency. The irregular architecture of these indumenta resulted in relatively little contact with water droplets. Most mesic terrestrial Pitcairnioideae examined either possessed glabrous leaf blades or hydrophobic layers of con¯uent trichomes on the abaxial surface. -

J. C. Kuiper" Light-Stress and Crassulacean Acid Metabolism By ULRICH LÜTTGE0 Key words: CAM metabolism, light stress, nitrogen nutrition, photoinhibition, photosynthesis, xanthophyll cycle. Summary LÜTTGE U. 2000. Light-stress and crassulacean acid metabolism. - Phyton (Horn, Austria) 40 (3): (65) - (82). Environmental cues driving the evolution and diversification of plants with crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) are widely accepted to have been primarily CO2 (HCO3") supply and subsequently H2O supply. Light-stress is largely considered to act via amplification of water stress. Can light-stress per se affect CAM? CAM plants show various ways of acclimation to high light. In the field sun exposed CAM plants (e.g. rosettes of bromeliads, Aloe; Kalanchoe species) often respond with changes of pigmentation from dark green to strongly red or yellow. Changes in xanthophyll-cycle capacity serving thermal dissipation of excess photosynthetic excitation energy have been shown. Acclimation often seems to be strongly related to N-nutrition. CAM plants are known to be subject to acute and chronic photoinhibition. This was mostly related to phases when they perform C3-photosynthesis, i.e. in the early morning (phase II) and especially in the afternoon (phase IV).
